Destini's Photos

Photography End of Year Video

Spring Break assignment linked to end of year, I chose to show what my life is like outside of school for the project since everybody knows what I'm like inside school.

Double Exposure

i chose purple lighting because i like the color and i think storms are pretty. ---

HDR and Panorama Photos

HDR; lake

HDR; a photo where ou talk multiple of the same subject with different exposures and merge them toether to get a perfect exposure in every aspect of the photo.

Panorama; lake and docks

Panorama; a photo where you take photos of something moving the camera in increments each time to achieve a drawn out photo, like a landscape. Merge them together to complete this process.

Reflection for animation:

We had many strengths and many weaknesses but one big problem we had was not having a lot of time to make our characters and other little details in our animation. We could have done a better job at making everything flow smoothly and making what was going on in the animation a little more clear. A couple things we did really well at was that it wasn’t boring at all, we added a fun little game into it and spent a bunch of time detailing the props whether that be the buildings, animals, backgrounds, or characters.

Bracketing

This assignment is bracketing, both Aperture bracketing and ISO bracketing are used in this assignment.

ISO Bracketing

A form of simulated exposure bracketing in which aperture and shutter speed (thus depth of field and motion blur) remain constant.

This is photo #1 of the ISO Bracketing examples, this has the lowest ISO.

This is photo #2 of the ISO Bracketing examples, this has the median ISO.

This is photo #3 of the ISO Bracketing examples, this has the highest ISO.

Aperture Bracketing

the process of shooting the same image, shot, or scene multiple times using different camera settings resulting in different exposures

This is photo #1 of the Aperture Bracketing examples.

This is photo #2 of the Aperture Bracketing examples.

This is photo #3 of the Aperture Bracketing examples.

Aperture and ISO Assignment

In this assignment I will be displaying 10 photos. Large and Shallow depth of field, two photos for each. 2 forced perspective photos and Low and High ISO.

Large and Shallow Depth of Field

Large Depth of Field is demonstrated by often making the center of the photo in focus, while anything in front of, beside, or behind the subject is out of focus. The Shallow one is where everything is in focus and you can see detail.

This photo is representing Large Depth of Field by keeping the cross in focus but the background out.

Settings;

Shutter speed; 1/49

Aperture; 4.6

WB; auto

ISO; 160

This photo is representing Large Depth of Field by keeping the cross in focus but the background out.

Settings;

Shutter speed; 1/64

Aperture; 7

WB; cloudy

ISO; 640

This photo is representing Shallow Depth of Field by keeping everything in focus.

Settings;

Shutter speed; 1/41

Aperture; 7

WB; auto

ISO; 400

This photo is representing Shallow Depth of Field by keeping everything in focus.

Settings;

Shutter speed; 1/41

Aperture; 14.1

WB; cloudy

ISO; 1600

Low and High ISO

Low ISO is to create less grain in the photo and less texture as well as depth and detail while High ISO is the opposite.

This photo is representing Low ISO by using a lower ISO in a semi lit lighting to make the details pop out more.

Principles of Art (pt 1)

In part 1 of Principles of Art, I will be covering Unity, Variety, Contrast, and finally Emphasis. I will provide photos of each and what I did to achieve each look.

Unity

a sense of harmony created by similarity in subject matter, proximity of forms, or a repetition of colors, forms, lines, etc.

Unity is displayed in this photograph by all the colors being a shade of green or brown, same or similar shape.

Settings;

Shutter speed; 1/64

Aperture; 4

WB; auto

ISO; 200

Unity is displayed in this photograph by the rocks, leaves, branches, and grass being gray, brown, and green.

Settings;

Shutter speed; 1/64

Aperture; 4

WB; auto

ISO; 200

Variety

Use of several different elements to hold the viewer's attention and add interest; the opposite of unity; too much unity becomes monotony; some variety creates visual interest

Variety is displayed in this photograph by the shapes of the car, car port, and shed while the colors remain closer to a similar color palette.

Settings;

Shutter speed; 1/21

Aperture; 4.6

WB; auto

ISO; 200

Variety is displayed in this photograph by the colors of the cars, floats on the boat, signs, and patterns and shapes in the backround.

Settings;

Shutter speed; 1/6

Aperture; 4.5

WB; auto

ISO; 200

Contrast

the difference between two objects using color, size, placement, texture; large vs. small, light vs. dark, smooth vs. rough

Contrast is displayed in this photograph by putting a bright red cooler in front of a neutral colored backround.

Settings;

Shutter speed; 1/64

Aperture; 4

WB; auto

ISO; 200

Contrast is displayed in this photograph by the bright warm leaves in front of the dark almost gray scale backround.

Settings;

Shutter speed; 1/6

Aperture; 4

WB; auto

ISO; 200

Emphasis

giving one object more importance than others through color, size, placement; creates hierarchy; can use contrast to create emphasis

Emphasis is displayed in this photograph by putting the pillow on the couch closer to the camera and using flash to make that area of the photo brighter.

Settings;

Shutter speed; 1/8

Aperture; 5

WB; auto

ISO; 200

Emphasis is displayed in this photograph by putting the camera closer to the things on the table and using flash to add light to that area of the photo.

Settings;

Shutter speed; 1/8

Aperture; 5

WB; auto

ISO; 200

Elements of Art, (pt 2)

In part 2 of Elements of Art, I will provide photos of Color, Shape, and Pattern. Color focuses on the bright colors or lack thereof in a photo. Shape draws your eyes in or out normally into wide open spaces like fields or yards. Pattern is a repetitive texture that may look like anything as long as it is the same, like a blanket.

Color

Color focuses on the bright colors or lack thereof in a photo.

The color in this photo comes from the lids of the markers and with the bland colored backround it lets you focus on the markers.

Settings;

Shutter speed; 1/128

Aperture; 9.1

WB; auto

ISO; 200

The color in this photo comes from the ends of the markers and the placement draws you to the end of them.

Elements of Art, (pt 1)

In part 1 of Elements of Art, I will provide photos of Line, Shape/Form, and Texture. Line contains any line that may point towards further in the photo or draw attention to the photo. Shape/Form makes the subject or the photo itself look 3D. Texture is normally repetitive like leaves, rugs, rope, and patterns in general.

Line

Contains any line that may point towards further in the photo or draw attention to the photo.

This photo has a path behind the barbed wire that directs your attention further into the forest behind the trees and fence line.

Settings;

Shutter speed; 1/16

Fill The Frame

The "Fill The Frame" concept is used to describe photos that are taking up the majority if not all of the frame without it being too close or too far from a surface, in doing so, this creates a opportunity for more detail to be displayed in the photo.

This photo of my female German Shephard was taken up close to show the detail in her fur and the ranges of colors.

This photo is of an Indians head on a plaque inside my house, it is taken close up to show the detail of the grains on his face and head.

This is a photo taken up close of a white rose displayed with other roses in a vase to show the groves in the petals and the way the end curls over.

This photo displays a resin pyramid displaying the tree of life below an amethyst orb over pebbles and gold glitter, being up close shows all the detail in the materials used.

This photo is up close to an Indian statue crouching in my shed, it is up close to show more detail.

Angles

The "Angles" concept is used to make certain items or objects appear bigger or smaller than they actually are by a wide range or scale.

This photo of my German Shepherd us angled from below and to the right to make him appear bigger.

This photo of my bearded dragon is angled from below and to the left to make him appear bigger.

This photo of my mom is taken from very far away and above to make her seem smaller.

This photo of my German Shephards is angled from below and in front to make them appear bigger.

This photo of my bearded dragon is angled from above and from the left to make him appear smaller.

Rule of Thirds

The Rule of Thirds concept is where you split your camera or screen into 3 parts both vertically and horizontally and put your subject or main focus on one or more of the lines on the sides or top and bottom of the photo. Make sure not to put the subject right in the middle of the photo.

This photo follows The Rule of Thirds with my German Shepard against the bottom left side.

This photo follows The Rule of Thirds with my house with it in the bottom right side.

This photo follows The Rule of Thirds with my sister's dog Ghost in the bottom and top right side.

This photo follows The Rule of Thirds with the cabin being in the last third on the bottom, and the last right side.

This photo follows The Rule of Thirds with this pottery sitting against the bottom two third panels and the right two thirds panels.
